No takers, I am somewhat surprised. You could just go through a few members.

I see what you are showing, but I'm not quite sure whose eyes they are, Brian's?

All no so far but the buildings should be a clue though they are difficult to make out!

Hey hang on! It's guess who it is not where it is!!!!! Mind you I don't think I would have thought of suggesting this as guess where it is.
Answer---- even I might find it difficult to decide what is in the reflection except I do know where it was. Could be.
